CVE-2022-4681Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated SQL injection via forwarded IP header

Published Feb 6, 2023 · Updated Mar 25, 2025

SQL injection in MINBO QRE SRL Hide My WP before 6.2.9 allows remote attackers to manipulate queries through a crafted HTTP header. The unauthenticated AJAX path places the X-Forwarded-For value into an SQL statement without adequate sanitization or escaping. No account is required; the demonstrated time-delay query confirms database-command control, while downstream impact depends on database privileges.
